Chapter 973: To Save or Not to Save
Jinghe had an accident, which caught the Chu Wangfu off guard.
But naturally, Hongye couldn't say anything, so he believed something, and Yuwen Hao immediately asked the secret agent team under the Fourth Master Cold Wolf Gate to investigate.
The news came back very quickly, and Jiangbei did catch a woman from the Northern Tang Dynasty, and she was going to be burned to death on the day of the New Year.
Then, this person must be quiet and undoubted.
The news was returned, and Yu Wenhao immediately went to Shoufu and Calm Yan to discuss it first, and then entered the palace to report.
Yuan Qingling waited for news in the mansion, if it was only to save Jinghe, the court would definitely not want to fight, the layout of ** had already been decided, and the court would profit from it.
But Hongye has indeed been arranged in place, confirming that the ** king was wiped out by the north of Xinjiang, so the imperial court has a reason to send troops, only depends on whether Emperor Ming Yuan is willing or not.
Emperor Ming Yuan summoned the cabinet to discuss the matter, and Yu Wenhao attended as the crown prince.
Because there was a plan to deal with **, most of the people in the DPRK and China were reluctant to send troops, and after a war against Xianbei and the Northern Desert, the treasury is now very small, and it is really difficult to support the military expenses of sending troops.
Moreover, this also involves the civil war, ** in the end, the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty, although it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but it is more ways and time to spend with them, in other words, the disadvantages of sending troops outweigh the benefits.
The imperial court has a special yamen responsible for ****, they think that today's ** is very poor, and the people's livelihood has completely failed to keep up with the general states and counties of the Northern Tang Dynasty, as long as it takes a few years, they can make them return to their hearts, if they really want to fight, it can only be fought in the north and south of Xinjiang, and the court cannot send troops, because the court will send troops to chill the hearts of some ** people.
It's just that the current situation is that southern Xinjiang is not a climate, and after the death of the king, it is now a plate of scattered sand, which cannot be condensed, and it is not enough to confront northern Xinjiang.
If you say that at this time, let the daughter of the ** king go back, it is not that it is impossible, but it will definitely not be able to save Jinghe.
Moreover, many courtiers believe that since there is a way to avenge the ** king, then the biggest purpose of sending troops this time is to Jinghe County Lord, if Jinghe County Lord is still a royal person, then she fell into the hands of ** people It does damage the royal face, but now she just bears the title of county lord, not a royal person, and it is inappropriate to use troops for her, and she cannot explain to the people of the world.
Someone suggested that if you want to save Jinghe County Lord, you can send someone to infiltrate northern Xinjiang and secretly rescue people.
But this move was immediately opposed by the **** Yamen, they are familiar with the terrain, in addition to the harsh mountains, there is also a natural miasma, almost every ** person knows the art of witchcraft, the people in the north of Xinjiang are particularly hostile to outsiders, and privately send people to rescue, there are many difficulties, and it is very likely that the rescued people will be put in it.
Yu Wenhao frowned, "It's not okay to send troops, it's not okay to rescue, so is there any way?" You can't watch the county lord of Jinghe being burned at the stake by the people of northern Xinjiang. ”
**Yamen Wu Dadao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, now that we have been gradually deploying **, we must be cautious at this moment, if the situation is disturbed because of the rescue of Jinghe County Lord, then what we did in the early stage will be in vain." ”
Yu Wenhao suppressed his anger, "Then you should come up with a plan, you can't watch people die in northern Xinjiang." ”
Wu Da said: "The minister thinks that the county lord of Jinghe was taken away by the people of northern Xinjiang because of personal grudges, she had killed the witch of northern Xinjiang, and the old knowledge is the concubine of the king of Wei, strictly speaking, it is a struggle between their women, and it is not appropriate for the court to intervene." ”
Yuwen Hao was furious, "You mean not to do anything?" ”
Master Wu took a firm stand, "The minister thinks that if we can't move, it will ruin our deployment." ”
Yu Wenhao took the case, "Deployment? What are your plans? **The situation has not been able to tell the reason so far, all the favorable deployments are planned by the king, **The king has had an accident until now, it has been ten years, you have not even been able to find the descendants of the king, let alone sent people in to understand the situation, the so-called deployment is only based on the other side of the river proposed by the king. ”
Master Wu was reprimanded by Yu Wenhao, and his face was a little unbearable, and he defended: "Your Highness's words are wrong, the situation is complicated, it's not that the minister is unwilling to take a plan, it's really useless to implement the plan without a point, besides, Your Highness, isn't the plan you proposed still have to be implemented by the yamen in the end?" Therefore, the minister thinks that the rescue is difficult, and it will provoke contradictions, resulting in all our previous efforts coming to naught, and the minister opposes all rescue actions. ”
"You can't sit idly by!" Yuwen Hao said angrily.
Seeing Yu Wenhao's face turned angry, Lord Wu asked, "Dare to ask Your Highness, if it was just an ordinary person in the Northern Tang Dynasty who was caught by the people of Northern Xinjiang, would you send troops to rescue you at all costs?" I'm afraid it's impossible for you to send someone, so why bother to make a difference because of your status as the county lord? If the prince really did this, he would be ignoring the overall situation, and it was really not a virtuous act. ”
Lord Wu dared to confront the crown prince in front of Emperor Ming Yuan, naturally because there were many people who supported him, and everyone thought that he couldn't make a big move for the sake of tranquility and peace, and he couldn't do it.
Yuwen Hao is not angry about this, it is true that sending troops for Jinghe will destroy the current layout, but Master Wu means that there is no need to rescue, he is angry about this.
Therefore, after listening to the last sentence of Lord Wu, he smiled coldly, "Yes, it may not be appropriate to send troops, this king did not propose to send troops, only said to send people to rescue, I believe that it is any people in the people, and their families will definitely try their best to rescue, Jinghe County Lord was the sister-in-law of this king, and is the family of this king, because this matter is related to your ** and the layout of the court **, so I proposed to discuss with everyone how to rescue is the most appropriate, and I didn't let Lord Wu go in person**, there is really no need to be so opposed." ”
When Lord Wu heard this, he said: "If Your Highness wants to send someone to rescue, it will also destroy the layout of the imperial court. ”
"Sending people to infiltrate the rescue, how to destroy the overall situation? You get the idea. Yuwen Hao said.
Master Wu arched his hand to Emperor Ming Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, the county lord of Jinghe was once the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and now she fell into the hands of the people of northern Xinjiang for killing the witch of northern Xinjiang, which is to blame, but if she is rescued, the wizard of northern Xinjiang will definitely think that the royal family sent someone to rescue her, so she will hate the royal family and the court even more." ”
Emperor Ming Yuan said lightly: "Therefore, the Wuqing family thinks that it is not necessary to send troops and rescue them?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, the minister thinks that you must not act rashly if you want to move your whole body."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the other ministers in the cabinet with a halo in his eyes, "Do you have any opinions?" ”
Some ministers said one after another: "The ministers think that what Lord Wu said is reasonable, and as for His Highness's eagerness to save people, it is understandable, but it will indeed damage the overall situation." ”
Emperor Ming Yuan's face was slightly gloomy, "Retreat, let's discuss it at a later date." ”
